| Betainized Metabolites as Biomarkers of Whole Grain Wheat, Not Oat: Insights from Controlled Crossover Pharmacokinetic and Daily Feeding Studies.
Valine betaine, isoleucine betaine, and glutamine betaine are specific biomarkers of WG wheat intake, not WG oat. Their distinct responses highlight the need for precision nutrition when evaluating the health benefits of WGs. |
| High Sodium and low potassium are associated with incident cardiovascular disease among US Hispanic/Latino adults: Prospective results from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.
In a large and diverse sample of Hispanic/Latino adults, high dietary sodium and low dietary potassium were independently associated with an increased risk of CVD. Results underscore the importance of investing in public health interventions to improve dietary quality and reduce incident CVD. |
| Is light-to-moderate alcohol drinking associated with the onset of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in a Chinese cohort?
Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption was associated with increased risks of SLD and MASLD. A gut microbial score based on alcohol-associated species also predicted higher disease risk. |
| Ultra-processed food consumption and incident autoimmune-related hypothyroidism: A sex-stratified prospective analysis from the UK Biobank.
Higher UPF intake was associated with an increased risk of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism in both sexes, partly mediated by renal and lipid biomarkers. Risk may be amplified in females using hormone replacement therapy. |
| Understanding the association of food insecurity and nutrition insecurity with diet quality: A cross-sectional analysis of two national samples.
Further research is needed to understand the utility of the HNS since food insecurity was more strongly associated with lower diet quality than nutrition insecurity. |

| Altered Gut Microbiota in Pediatric Quiescent Crohn's Disease Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia.
This is the first comprehensive microbiome analysis of quiescent pediatric Crohn's disease with concomitant IDA. The findings indicate modest but significant microbial strain-level differences and associated functional pathways, potentially implicating microbiota-mediated mechanisms in the persistence of IDA. |
| Disease Outcomes After Segmental Resection of Colonic Crohn's Disease: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.
Although high rates of recurrence persist within the postoperative phase of SC for CD, the postoperative use of TNFα inhibitor for prophylactic purposes for a subset of patients may promote a more durable endoscopic remission. |
| Janus Kinase Inhibitors for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Concise Questions and Answers on Their Use in Clinical Practice.
JAK inhibitors cause reversible, dose-dependent cholesterol increases without consistent evidence of a clear impact on cardiovascular risk, but monitoring is advised. Use in pregnancy is discouraged due to potential risks, and breastfeeding is contraindicated because of drug excretion in milk. |
| Risk-Stratified Biologic Efficacy in Ulcerative Colitis: A Multicenter Machine Learning Study.
Our random forest model enables precise risk stratification in UC, distinguishing patients with divergent responses to biologics. Low-risk patients derive significant benefit from timely biologics, while high-risk subgroups may require intensified strategies. This framework advances personalized UC management, though prospective validation is warranted. |
| Statin Use is Associated With Lower Odds of IBD-Related Surgery Among Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Patients with moderate-severe IBD using statins were less likely to experience IBD-related surgery in a real-world, electronic health record-based cohort. |
| The Chicago Mesenteric Fat Index: A Novel Metric for Point-of-Care Intestinal Ultrasound Evaluation of Mesenteric Fat Wrapping in Crohn's Disease.
CMFI represents a proof-of-concept tool for semi-quantitative assessment of MF wrapping on IUS. While reproducible and associated with other disease markers, its incremental clinical utility remains to be established through prospective validation and longitudinal outcome studies. |
| Tonsillectomy and the Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Real-World US Data.
and relevance This study highlights a significant association between tonsillectomy and increased risk of developing IBD. These observations underscore the potential role of tonsillectomy in influencing long-term gastrointestinal health, warranting further investigation into underlying mechanisms and preventative strategies. |

| Clinical utility of pre-treatment 4-digit resolution HLA genotyping to guide anti-TNF choice and concomitant immunomodulator use.
Pre-treatment 4-digit HLA testing informs anti-TNF treatment choice and immunomodulator use. In HLA-DQA1*05 01 carriers, adalimumab monotherapy should be used and infliximab avoided. In HLA-DQA1*05 05 carriers, infliximab or adalimumab can be used with a concomitant immunomodulator. In patients who do not carry either HLA-DQA1*05 01 or HLA-DQA1*05 05, adalimumab monotherapy or infliximab with a concomitant immunomodulator are recommended. |
| Learning Curve in Intestinal Ultrasound: Advancing from Basic Skills to Advanced Competencies-Insights from the IUS IG-IBD Master Program.
This study establishes the first comprehensive, parameter-specific learning thresholds for IUS competency in IBD. Our findings demonstrate that structured training enables basic IUS proficiency within 75-112 examinations for experienced ultrasonographers, while advanced skills require extended practice. These data represent an important step toward defining evidence-based benchmarks for IUS training, supporting the development of standardized international curricula and safe clinical implementation. |
| Risk of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes after open versus laparoscopic surgery for IBD: a nationwide cohort study.
Prior surgery for IBD is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. A laparoscopic approach does not mitigate these risks. |

| Genetic and Electrophysiological Characterization of Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis in Israeli Patients.
More than half of acute recurrent pancreatitis cases had a genetic basis, presenting at a younger age. CFTR variants were the most prevalent. The high prevalence of the PRSS1 p.Lys23Arg variant among Jewish Georgian individuals suggests a potential founder effect. These findings highlight the importance of genetic evaluation in the diagnosis and management of acute recurrent pancreatitis. |
| Impact of Splanchnic Vein Thrombosis on Outcomes of Interventions in Patients With Pancreatic Fluid Collections Following Acute Pancreatitis- A Prospective Observational Study.
SVT was not associated with increased complications, bleeding risk, or mortality following interventions for symptomatic PFCs in AP. |
| Pancreatology |
| Analgesic phenotypes in acute pancreatitis: Clustering analysis of two prospective global cohort studies.
Unique clusters in the management of pain in AP were identified, with associations to severity of AP. Substantial centre-level variations exist in the patterns of analgesic prescribing globally, contributing to variations in outcomes. |
| Elevated circulating glycine levels are associated with reduced pancreatic cancer risk: A prospective cohort study based on the UK biobank.
Higher circulating glycine levels are associated with a reduced risk of PC, even in individuals with the highest genetic susceptibility. These findings suggest that higher circulating glycine levels may hold potential for PC prevention strategies, warranting further experimental validation of glycine supplementation in prospective trials. |

| Unmasking a New Trauma in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Unequal Psychological Burden.
Inflammatory bowel disease-related post-traumatic stress disproportionately affects Black and Latino/a patients and is driven by traumatic disease experiences, cumulative adversity, and unmeasured medication effects. Recognition of these factors and implementation of routine screening and trauma-informed care are essential to improve outcomes and reduce inequities in these patients. |
